A WILD LIFE.

TWO TARTS THAT TOOK TO THE TOWN. Auckland Girls Sent to the Reformatory. Clinging lovingly to each' other, a la the lfttle Princes m the Tower, two girls, one nearly 16 years and another just; past that age, named Annie Maher and May Brown, faced Dr. McArthur, S.M.,"in his chamber at the S.M.s Court last Tuesday afternoon charged with being idle and disorderly persons, having insufficient means of support. Both girls were rather finely clad, and though they wept copiously, no doubt at the fact of having had their little adventures brought to a standstill, they bore the evidence of having had a real rare time. For sometime past these girls have been GOING IT HOT m this wicked city. and it was only a matter of a week or two ero the police took a hand m the game. In pleading guilty, the two "tart£" saved a lot of nasty evidence coming out against them. ' Sub-Inspector o 'Donovan said that the precious pair came from Auckland, where their people resided. The girls, after leaving Auckland were expected to go to Gisborne. They had remained there a little while, and afterwards came on to Wellington. The girl Maher remained here, and the other went on to Ohristchurch, but came back to this city. Here m Wellington they resided m Courtney Place and wrote to Auckland that they were m service. In Wellington the two led A WILD, HILARIOUS LIFE. Their company was very low, and they kept sinking lower and lower. They were always m the company of spielers, and with those insects had frequented gambling dens m the city. Maher was ordered to be sent to the Teoranga Reformatory at Christchurch. Brown was committed to gaol, after which she will be sent to the Reformatory. "I want to go with Annie" said May, who was blubbering all she knew, though Annie had dried up by this. J Dr. McArthur : You will join her later on. You are older than she and you have first to go to gaol. "You see what you have brought. yourselves to," added the Magistrate.
